It was the third after marraige, but the first Diwali together. So finally the jinx was broken. At the new house it was a memorable diwali after all. Life here has been busy as far as policing is concerned. A bigger district than my previous assigments, and to add to it, the place is pretty backward, people are more laid-back. Many systems that we take for granted down south, dont even exist. So my task for most of the last 50 days of my charge here has been to get systems working, checking and re-checking. Dont know how far i'll be able to establish them, coz i'm sure my predessesors too have tried their best at them. Nevertheless temporarily I do expect some change.
Deepu has been busy for most of this period, trying to set the new house right. Lot of modifications in the rooms, garden and the surroundings kept her busy. The best part was her birthday which we spent together again after a break last year. We didnt do much, but I atleast decided to bunk office and spend the whole day with her.
We haven't still settled down to a routine. A couple of days we did go to the officers club for a game of badminton. I tried my hand at the Police Tennis courts for sometime, but nothing seems to be falling in place. Thats on the agenda next, coz my waistline now seems to have reached a stage of concern. Otherwise things have been fine. Once in a while we do runaway to Hyderabad for a movie or settle for one in Bidar's Sapna. Offcourse nothing to beat the home DVDs on projector.
We'll write more on this historic place Bidar in the coming posts and I wish Deepu takes that initiative, coz she hasn't written for ages now.
